4Description
OAuthenticator is software that allows OAuth2 identity providers to be plugged in and used with JupyterHub. Prior to version 17.4.0, an authentication bypass vulnerability in oauthenticator allows an attacker with an unverified email address on an Auth0 tenant to login to JupyterHub. When email is used as the usrname_claim, this gives users control over their username and the possibility of account takeover. This issue has been patched in version 17.4.0.
Analysis
Authentication bypass in JupyterHub OAuthenticator <17.4.0 allows authenticated attackers with unverified email addresses on Auth0 tenants to login with arbitrary usernames, enabling account takeover when email is configured as the username claim. The vulnerability requires low-complexity exploitation over the network with low privileges (CVSS 8.8, AV:N/AC:L/PR:L). …
